SHIP'S CAPTAIN'S STORY OF RESCUE BY R.A.F.

London, To-day. CAPTAIN J. SCHOFIELD, skipper of the "Kensing-

ton Court," which was sunk by a Nazi submarine. in the Atlantic, told yesterday how the crew were rescued by two R.A.F. flyingboats.

Captain Schofield said the submarine fired a shot near 'the vessel, and he promptly sent out an S.O.S. message.

Five more shots were fired, and the crew took to the boats. One of the boats capsized, throwing the men into the water, but the other boat pulled away.

They were only just in time, for just as they got clear there was a big explosion on board."

The rescue was marked by a queer coincidence.
